== Description ==

Secure ShareLink is a WordPress plugin that allows you to generate secure, time-limited sharing links for files, routes, or model data. It includes advanced security features such as password protection, IP filtering, burn-after-read, and usage limits, along with comprehensive auditing. Perfect for sharing sensitive content or providing temporary access to resources.

== Key Features == 

🔗 Multiple Resource Types – Share files, URLs, 301 Redirect, or text/data seamlessly

⏰ Time-Limited Access – Set expiration dates and usage limits

🔒 Password Protection – Protect links with a secure password

🚫 IP Filtering – Restrict access to specific IP addresses

🔥 Burn After Reading – One-time access links that self-destruct

📊 Comprehensive Auditing – Track access patterns and usage

🎯 Flexible Delivery – Supports file downloads and URL redirection

💻 Admin UI – Create, edit, manage, and monitor links from WordPress admin
